- Scope and Content:
- Doo is reading the biography of Sir Martin Archer Shee. The author of the book, Shee's son, had requested to make a watercolor copy of Doo's portrait of his father. The son had wanted to place it in the Royal Academy "Presidential Series." Doo writes that he has declined the request because his portrait was carried out before Schee was President. Doo asks Redgrave's opinion on the matter. Doo's portrait of "Sir Joshua" [Joshua Reynolds] is almost "ready for press." Doo writes that he would have finished it sooner except for his wife's illness.
